I pronounce it like JACK-A-BEE but I started wondering if maybe I'm pronouncing it wrong and it should sound like JA-COBE-EE?
I really like the sound of the name though. Thoughts?

I thought it was juh-co-bee. That's how I'd pronounce it anyways.

The lead singer of Papa Roach is Jacoby (it might be Jacobi but either way) and he pronounces his name jah-COH-bee

It's how I've always said it too. I think it's handsome.

JacobyJones is the only one I've ever heard of, but I like it. I think you have to have a last name that really goes with it though (like Jones), otherwise it could be too cumbersome. And I pronounce it like everyone else -- juh-COE-bee.

In Princess Diaries 2 there's a character whose last name is Jacoby (his FN is Andrew) and it's pronounced jack-uh-bee so that's how I say it.

Jacoby Ellsbury from the Red Sox pronounces it juh-coh-bee so I say it that way.

I know a kid named Jacoby, and he pronounces it Juh-co-bee. Random side note: I also knew some one whose last name was prononced like this, but i forgot how it was spelled
